I received this item on coupon as part of Sprouts’ short lived freebies program. I enjoy cooking with soy curls, chunks and TVP but have a specific method that I use. This package came with the seasoning already mixed into the TVP; I think it would work better if the seasoning came in a separate packet. This way, it would be easier to squeeze excess water from the TVP before frying. The seasoning could then be added whilst cooking and no seasoning would be lost. With the instructions and packaging as is, it was challenging to get the TVP to crisp up and the oil was absorbed moreso than crisping. (I used 2 TBSP instead of 3 as instructed, which still felt like too much.)
The flavor was good and I think it would have been quite tasty if the TVP had been further browned and the seasoning added later.
I think a product like this could be nice for folks who want to try TVP but haven’t before - but it could use some tweaking. It’s nice to have some shelf-stable and easy to prepare protein sources.
